A 10-year-old with “complex medical healthcare needs” has completed a marathon challenge with the help of his family.

Fareham-based Alfie, who uses a wheelchair, tackled the 26-mile challenge as part of a seven-strong team of family and friends – and the group raised more than £4,000 for hospices which care for him.

The challenge was a 26-mile trek from Sebastian’s Action Trust in Basingstoke to Naomi House and Jacksplace in Winchester, and back again.
